Randall Olson grew up in the small city of Winnipeg, Manitoba in the centre of the North American continent. He has vivid memories of cruising across the vast flatlands of his childhood in the Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler land yachts of the 1950s. A love for these automobiles became a part of his life, as did his enjoyment of photography and scale model motor cars. The author now lives in Vancouver, BC, Canada with his wife and twin teenage sons. He is a business consultant, skilled miniaturist and diorama builder, and is working on his next book in this series.
